"Before that, what did Miss Shirley ask?"

"la requested that Vino be included in one of her shots."

Lam raised one of her eyebrows.

"That's all?"

"You don't understand how serious this is!"

"Then explain."

"Shirley is a top model. Even professional models do not necessarily get the opportunity to work with him. What would happen if an amateur who was even just a while ago decided to become a model was photographed with her?"

"Didn't the client have full rights in the selection of photos to be published? Even if he is photographed, it does not mean he will be displayed. I think even he'll be pulled soon after 1 or 2 shots. He's amateur. Miss Shirley also I don't think she will force her will after seeing the child's blindness. You're overreacting to this."

"The problem isn't there, staff master. Surely I know that. But this is Vino. The new hostel residents were passed by Mr. Rom from BM. If the Romans saw him or heard that he was photographed with Shirley, it would raise suspicion of a special relationship between them. And once they decided to investigate, it was likely that their breakfast, even his visit that night to Vino's cabin would be uncovered."

"... And that man will go back to making her suffer." Lam finished Elly's explanation with a soft murmur.

"Eh? You said something?"

"Say, what can I do now?"

"We can prevent that suspicion from arising."

"How is it?"

"They'll be suspicious if Vino just shows up. Of the many residents of the modeling dormitory, 'why him?' Questions like that will arise. To prevent it, we need inside intervention."

"And I don't think that person should be me."

"I don't know many people here. All I know is his name is Mr. Ando, the head of this hostel, and you."

"I'm flattered."

"no need. Blame my memory for being too strong to catch everything without filtering it first."

"Ck. Then just ask Mr. Ando to help you."

"I don't know him very well to be able to trust him. I don't believe you either. But I can see clearly that you care about Shirley and that's what I need."

"I hope you didn't dig your own grave. I never said I cared about him. I can also report all this to Mr. Rom if I want."

"The fact is you didn't. Also that night's visit, you didn't tell anyone. Right?"

"That's because I don't care about other people's business."

"aaagh! Can't you act like a real, unattractive man he said?! You said you'd hear my request, right?!"

Lam gasped at the rising of Elly's voice several octaves at the same time as she clenched her hands on the table.

"Godf.."

"Hahahaha," Lam's laughter exploded after her attempt to endure it failed miserably.

Elly could not say the word saw Lam laughing freely in front of her. For a moment he gawked like a fool before realizing that his mouth was even open.

"Ke, why are you laughing, damn it!"

"Hahaha, okay. Tell me what you can do for you, miss."

"Stop your laughter first."

Elly murmured in annoyance as she looked at Lam who patted her own chest to stop her laughter.

"OKAY. Please."

"You'd recommend it."

"What's? You want me to recommend that damn kid?"

"You'd rather pretend to have recommended it to me. That way the spread will be, 'Vino was chosen because he was recommended directly by the main tutor of BM'."

"It doesn't make sense. And how come I can recommend the model to you without any wind?"

"The cinema is like this, Mr. Lam. You and I are old friends and I used to call you. Today as usual I called you and revealed my difficulty finding a male model as Shirley's partner with this criterion. You saw all these criteria on Vino and recommended Vino to me.

Bam! Be like this. This is what we're going to explain to people. Youunderstand?"

Lam rubbed her face violently.

"really crazy. I want a girl friend who is soft and sexy, if I can be honest. Oh, I don't mean to offend you, miss manager."

"And you think I want a friend of an errand staff like you? It's purely business, sir. Saying what you want. And we'll be two mutually beneficial parties."

"whatever?"

"Other than obscene things, anything."

Lam smiled in anguish.

"You sound like I'm asking for something like that."

Elly pinned her hair behind her ears in a calm and elegant manner, keeping her pride at the top.

"I have my own criteria for choosing men."

Their gazes again clashed with the heat without anyone wanting to budge. Both are stubborn, both are valuable

Elly pulled a slight corner of her lips as she thought of something brilliant in her opinion.

"I remind you, there is no benefit for me either. It's all for Shirley."

Damn it, curse Lam in her heart. This woman in front of him purposely used the name Shirley to urge him.

"I'm not even sure your client would accept such unreasonable terms."

'Derrrt.'

Elly pulled out her vibrating phone from her pants pocket and smiled happily at the caller's contact, then turned on the speaker.

"Elly's here."

"Hi, Miss Elly, with Billy."

"I hope I hear a positive answer from you, sir."

"Before that, I wanted to make sure of something. The condition is that we only have to allow the amateur young man to take the photoshoot. There's no need to use it, is there?"

"certain sir. If it's useless, you can take it off."

"All right then. We accept."

"Thank you, sir. We'll arrive at your place no later than this afternoon."

"We have to catch the deadline today. If you can't this afternoon maybe we should postpone tomorrow."

"okay, sir. We'll be here soon."

Lam screeched in annoyance at seeing Elly's haughty expression as she lowered her phone.

"They accepted the terms."

"I heard it. And it's pretty clear that they won't even take the boy seriously. Maybe they'll take a picture of it once, yelling 'no becus! Amateurs!' or something, and then pulled him out of the shoot."

"They haven't seen Vino. I think Vino can do something that will grab their attention. But it's none of my business. Hows it? You gonna do it?"

"Suckhead."

Lam was shot up while getting up from her seat. Elly's gaze followed her who walked towards the door and picked up her jacket hanging behind her.

"You owe me, miss manager."

Elly's smile expands hearing the word. she also got up and approached Lam who had finished wearing her jacket.

The name 'Shirley' is really a powerful weapon for this man even though he is sure Lam will never admit it.

"Let's go," Lam asked.

"OK, but where?"

"Lunch on."

"Wow, are you trying to ask me out?"

Lam glanced at him and grinned faintly.

"I'm sorry it didn't live up to your expectations, miss. It's lunchtime. I'll have to fill my stomach before playing an old friend with you who'll definitely be tiring."

"Then you don't have to take me."

"I'm not a jerk who would leave a hungry woman alone. But that's all. Like you said, it's purely business, miss."

Lam finished her sentence while stepping out followed by Elly who held back the emotions behind her. The food delivery officers were handing out lunch to the cabin occupants. One of them was stopped by Lam.

"What's up, Lam?"

"I'm going out for lunch and then I'm going to walk up to Mr. Ando's room. There's something we need to talk about. If I'm late, please tell them there will be a program resignation. I'll be right back."

The officer had a strange look at Lam for a moment before being shocked to catch the whereabouts of Elly beside Lam. He immediately put on a teasing grin and elbowed Lam's chest with his elbow.

"I wonder what kept the super busy master Lam Pierce out of his seminary. But Lam, you really don't know yourself. How can you take Miss Elly to eat with you?"

"It's not what you think it is. We're old friends."

This time it was Elly who replied with a smile.

"A, what?!"

"so. Let's go." Lam pulls Elly's wrist to get away, dodging more questions. He took it off as soon as they arrived at the elevator.

"You really intend to do this charade. Don't don't you either practice or something" he said with a grin at Elly who was standing a little away from him.

"Omong empty. Are we meeting Ando?"

"Yeah, after eating."

"For what?"

"If you want to block information, you have to start with the person who trusts the information the most."

Lam continued her sentence as Elly looked at her cluelessly.

"Once Mr. Rom heard the news of Vino's photo shoot, who do you think he'd call first after you to confirm the truth?"
